I finished this bag a couple of days ago, and my fingers are still cramped. I used hemp, and severely underestimated how hard it would be to crochet with it. I am still relatively new to crocheting, but was feeling froggy, and I'm reasonably pleased with the results.

Thanks for the comments guys! If any of you guys attempt this, i would love to see the results!--Bolshy: I get my hemp from either online, or from my local Michael's. I really prefer to got somewhere not associated with a chain, but out here in Louisiana, resources are limited, and you gotta take what you can get. Good luck everyone!
